“It’s okay to be confused when you’re growing up. It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay to show a weakness but don’t let those moments of weakness define who you are and to continue on with what you’re passionate about and what you believe in and you have the potential to get over even the darkest of moments if you have the passion to get through it,” Lily shared about what the movie tells teenage girls.

She added, “Clary doesn’t know how to deal with situations but she is so determined and so passionate and that fuels her through any situation.”
